The wounds from Glenn Close‘s Oscar loss for “The Wife” are still fresh, but for our readers that defeat was not the hardest of her seven to swallow. Nope, 36 percent of our fans say Close’s loss for “Fatal Attraction” (1987) hurts the most.
“Fatal Attraction” was the source of Close’s fourth nomination and first in Best Actress, and of course the role of Alex Forrest is arguably her best known. But she fell to Cher (“Moonstruck”). “Although I’m a big Cher fan, except when she goes on one of her political rants, I think Glenn Close deserved the Oscar more than Cher for her strong performance in ‘Fatal Attraction,'” user Chuck Casson wrote.
Though “Fatal Attraction” and Close’s performance have endured, she was never a frontrunner in that race, and the character of unhinged bunny boiler Alex would’ve been an atypical Best Actress winner.
